Padgate Lane WRD

A 4mm DCC Operated Layout

In The Beginning - 2001-2007

Padgate Lane was originally built by Colin Peake between 2001 and 2004, and made appearences at Retford's Model Rail Exhibition in 2002 and 2004, as well as in Issue 43 of Model Trains International. For a better review of this period, and shots of the layouts construction, take a peek at Colin's Website - http://colinpeake.fotopic.net . Incidently, its worth taking a look around the rest of the site, as he's undertaken quite a few other interesting projects!

Under New Management - 2007 Onwards

I purchased Padgate Lane in early 2007, and set about converting it to DCC operation. After a lot of blood, sweat, coffee and tears, the layout is now fully DCC. Padgate Lane is now back on the exhibition circuit showing another side of model railway operation.
